Long Zip up Poems

I am just finishing my morning meditation when I hear my doorbell ring. It actually sounds more like that buzzing sound you hear if you fry a fat fly on one of those electronic bug...

It’s Christmas Eve, Babe
In the car pound
It shouldn’t be this way
Should not have been found

But I’m the lucky one
I am the thirteenth one
And when I got a scare
I hi-tailed out of there

But everywhere I went
It...

Stepping out, tired and weary, feeling just so
What the hell..... I have no place to go
The desire to turn back would be bad
I’d be returning to the same life style I had. 

For me, my...

This land belongs to Buhari, 
he has the financial keys to every land here!
You must not urinate here unless you

they're watching.
You must not answer nature's call...

How did the phrase “Spitting Image” originate
Seems kinda gross to me
Now here's something I've often wondered about
Do Queens expectorate... surely Kings do
For that matter, they pass wind too
Some people... okay some men...
Make a big production...

BLUE BY YOU

What’s Blue by me?  

Butterfly wings, 
the Blue Moth in flight,
stilettos, suede shoes, 
for dancing at night.
Moonbows and rainbows, 
in the spectrum of blue,
the eyes of your love, 
when he’s laughing at...

It is a brisk seventeen degrees. Some are complaining
 at the 40 mile-an-hour winds, dandy
Winter tornado in Saint Louie.  I am in my 
giant brown recliner, wearing doffers, and
My zip up stripped zebra suit...

Heyyy friend, since we always UP to something, I wanna give a tribute to the word UP, because everyday of our life we do something meaningful with the word up.
So with that being said, I...

I wonder if it’s that hard?
I am young and full of years.
I walk this beach every day and watch
The tides come in, and drive back out.
Birds fly gracefully above my head and
The breeze blows sand...

Every time I sneeze or cough

Either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!

Shouldn't be a big surprise

It's a definite sign we ain't no young chicken no more

When you grunt just putting on your socks

It's the...

There was a grasshopper in my porridge, and he had stopped hopping,
But luckily I found him before he was one hundred percent gone.
I fished him out with a silver spoon, and his eyes popped open,...

How do you pull yourself up from imploding
pick up the pieces and super glue fingers
back onto hands which have shattered in dreaming
all that a moment of laughter can stand?
How do you separate time from occurrence

I looked down on myself and felt irritated.
I have looked better, less like a hag
This past week I have been wild looking.
My hair makes Einstein’s look tame.

Am I really this hunched over?
My great-grandmother had a...

I bumped into him
My eighty and something year decrepit teacher
He was wearing a coat 
Moth-eaten,shabby and antiquated
Overlooking an ostensively,presumed shirt
In his haste has unwisely buttoned up
A pair of pants obsolete 
He would oftentimes disregard to...

Ok keep below the radar, stay out of sight,
Bury your head in the sand, do not incite,
Why get involved, it’s not your fight,
Zip up your mouth, should be alright.

Rise above them, turn the other cheek,
Play...

Large fuzzy pajamas with a hood
Used to be for toddlers.
Now I have them.
They are getting rather worn.
My zebra go-to-pajamas.

My husband ordered me another pair.
They are big enough to fit around me, thus
they are about eighteen...

More about yours truly. A momentus event.
Did you know that the Kidster sleeps in a tent?
Pitched right in the middle of his living room.
He often sleeps there to escape his gloom.
A single bed furnishes the...

While trying to zip up my pants,
I had to take on that “stantz”
Of sucking in my big gut and bending just the right way;
Maybe I shouldn’t have eaten that éclair the other day!

Before I try...

The event was not a grave side ritual
Yet it bored the mark of great grief,
A lady mounted the stage with a candle that’s punctual;
She punctured the atmosphere with her sobs not brief.


We shall overcome, we...

Walked into a ruddy stop sign today
Damn thing's been there for eons
Concentration lately is all shot to hell
It's the looney bin for me e'er long

They'll lock me up this time for good
Probably it's best that...

(Inspired by Demetrios Trifiatis' Woman's Day Poems)


At this ripe old age of seventy-eight
Thought girlies would no longer phase me
On the contrary, more now than ever before

I couldn’t zip up my pants and walk out the door
Ground floor the sleeper
So much weaker, no, you are of importance like the
Tims, the hat, and the shoes while rockin’ the wife beater
